# Bubble Tea in Novena

Since 30 December 2023, bubble tea shops must show a Nutri-Grade mark on menus for drinks graded C or D, and must declare the sugar in toppings such as pearls. Grade D drinks cannot be advertised. Customisable drinks are graded at their highest sugar level, so choosing 25–50% sugar lowers your actual intake.

## Key facts
- Listings: 8
- Matched to a government licence/register: 1
- Median years in business: 22

## How to choose
- Read the Nutri-Grade mark on the menu – it reflects the drink at 100% sugar, so lower sugar levels will be less sweet than the grade suggests.
- Toppings add sugar too; shops must declare topping sugar content on menus and signage.
- For halal, several bubble tea chains have MUIS-certified outlets; check the specific branch.
- Membership apps often give points or a free drink every few purchases.

## FAQs
### What does the Nutri-Grade label on bubble tea mean?
Nutri-Grade grades drinks A to D by sugar and saturated fat. Since 30 December 2023, F&B outlets must label freshly prepared drinks graded C or D on menus and at the point of sale, and cannot advertise grade D drinks. For drinks with adjustable sweetness, the grade reflects the highest sugar level offered.

### Is bubble tea halal in Singapore?
Only outlets certified by MUIS are halal-certified, and certification is per outlet. Check the specific outlet on the MUIS Certified Eating Establishments list or MuslimSG app.
